The Matarelli whip finisher is the original whip finishing tool, often copied, but never duplicated. The whip finish is used to complete a fly, tying off the head with the "whip finish knot". Many tyers can preform this knot without the aid of a tool, but for most people, the whip finish tool is the way to produce great results every time you tie a fly.

This tool is used by the some of the FishUSA staff, and comes packaged with a detailed, illustrated instruction sheet on using the tool.

The finisher are made from stainless steel and brass, and measures 4" long. This is the standard version.

Comments: Having read Charlie Cravens book I purchased the Matarelli whip finisher from fish USA. The tool was smaller than I expected it to be and is great for small parachute flies that are difficult to finish using your fingers. very smooth and keeps tension on the thread much better than hand tying.

Comments: Even though there are look a likes made overseas availble, they will never compare to the original. The small differences make a big difference in use. I tie thousands of flies a year, I just happened to wear my old materelli out.
